Ankaragucu vs Tuzlaspor match preview!

So the TFF strike again and have changed the date and time of an Ankaragucu home match, this time to Monday night at 7pm against Tuzlaspor. One of the things i hate about football is how little thought their is for the people who are the heart and sole of the game, the fans! We live in a world run by corporate organisations and its very evident they are at the top of football and decisions are made with not a single thought of how it will effect the fans.

So as usual, people who are working late on a Monday will miss out on another Ankaragucu match. The game against Tuzlaspor is another huge match for the club as they look to put pressure on leaders Manisaspor who travel to Sivas BB at the weekend and can go 9 points clear with Ankaragucu still to play their match on Monday.

Tuzlaspor put up a spirited performance yesterday as they lost 2-1 at home against Fenerbahce in the Turkish Cup. Although Fenerbahce rested all their first team players, they still had some quality players and Tuzla put in a good account of themselves. They currently sit 8th place in the league and have won their last 3 home games as they chase a playoff spot.

Kemal Kilic will be hoping for a repeat of the performance that saw Ankaragucu beat Kocaeli Birlikspor 2-0 a couple of weeks ago at home. Hasan Ayaroglu will be hoping he done enough in the last game to merit a place in the starting line up after being left on the bench. The team needs creative players like Hasan, Omer and Emrah to be at their best as well as staying solid at the back.

Lets hope on Monday night we are all celebrating an Ankaragucu win and a 3 point gap between us and leaders Manisaspor, knowing our luck we will lose and be 9 points behind though.

Excellent preview, as usual Nadeem, and you have just about covered everything.

Well, you've seen my rant in an email, and I'm not going to repeat it. All I'll say is ........ thanks to the Effin TFF, they have condemned me to another Saturday taking my dragon to a Supermarket Complex for Christmas Shopping when all boyz want to be in the Stadium where boyz should be on a Saturday in the footie season !!!

As you have probably seen on fb, Cider Kanka John will make the match and he'll do a report.

Let's hope it's an upbeat report to give us something extra to celebrate next week over Christmas and into the New Year.

The only reason I can think of why they would change the match to Monday night is that Gencler are playing Fener on Sunday night... and the TFF didn't want Ankaragucu to mess up the field.

No matter what the reason, playing night matches in Ankara in December is just cruel to both the players and the fans at the match. The TFF doesn't give a shit about them though. It's all about the TV.
